Gross profit reached $192.0 million, a 23.9% decline from $252.2 million, but gross margin expanded to 45.5% from prior levels.

The narrower decline versus revenue reflects disciplined cost control, allowing the company to maintain profitability on a reduced topline.
Net income fell to $19.3 million from $56.8 million, a 66.0% decrease, with diluted EPS at $0.42 versus $1.21. This compression highlights the leverage impact of topline contraction on bottom-line results, though margins held firm at the gross and operating levels.

Management assesses liquidity in terms of generating cash for operating, investing, and financing activities, believing sufficient resources exist to invest in existing businesses and strategic opportunities while managing capital structure.
Working capital dynamics provide operational context: the six-month net increase was driven by higher inventory and decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash from operations benefited from this alongside core generation. These factors explain moderated cash deployment and underscore focus on liquidity preservation. Overall, results demonstrate resilience through pricing power and cost management, positioning Griffon to navigate residential headwinds while maintaining strong margins and liquidity for strategic flexibility.
